While the rest of the media turns the statement of Hamish Campbell that there is still a "good number of people to be quizzed" into a mathematical exercise with the help of CM spin - 20..12..9..5... persons of interest/suspects - the EXPRESS hides very important information behind a rather ludicrous statement about a couple that allegedly entered Maddie's apartment on May 2nd.

The important information is that Scotland Yard interviewed a couple that owns the apartment above Mrs Fenn, who died in March 2011. The couple were interviewed in August 2007 by the BBC but apparently not by the Portuguese police. The important part of their statement is the fact that they passed the entrance of the Tapas Bar on May 3rd shortly after 9:00 pm and that the woman, Mrs. Moyes, was having a drink on the balcony at 9:15 without having noticed anybody in the street where Jane Tanner allegedly saw bundleman abducting Madeleine. Not Jane, not Gerry, not Jez and certainly not bundleman.

The Moyes had arrived in Praia da Luz only a day before the "abduction" on May 2nd and since Mrs. Fenn had been out that evening, might be the only witnesses for another crying episode as described by Mrs. Fenn for May 1st. There is danger in numbers. One dead witness does not count much, but three witnesses confirming the so called "child-care-arrangements" of the Tapas Group have to be taken seriously.

And up pops a mysterious couple that was seen entering the apartment to sooth and comfort the crying Madeleine. Most probably a couple living close to hear the ongoing screaming and who might have noticed the open patio door. And who is the source for this surprising, never-heard-before piece of evidence?

The demand of the person most affected by the McCann circus apart from their daughter, expresses our deepest wish. Almost successfully being made a patsy by four of the Tapas 7, Mr. Murat offers the only relevant words at the anniversary of her disappearance. A reconstruction is the way to go. And he would gladly play a part in it. So strange that Scotland Yard never thought of that...

ROBERT MURAT today appeals for Scotland Yard to stage a
filmed reconstruction of all the events surrounding the disappearance of
Madeleine McCann.

Robert Murat was cleared as a suspect long ago
Marking the sixth
anniversary of her abduction, the Algarve-based businessman says a
48-hour timeline would help police conducting a £4.5million review of
the case.
Mr Murat, who was cleared as a
suspect, said: “They need to start from the beginning.” So far the
two-year review by more than 20 detectives in London has not led to a
breakthrough.
Portugal’s authorities have not
been persuaded to reopen the investigation, although Policia Judiciaria
policewoman Helena Monteiro liaises regularly with officers from the
Yard’s Operation Grange.

Mr Murat, 39, spoke to
the Sunday Express while sipping tea in Casa ­Liliana, his elderly
mother Jenny’s villa 150 yards from apartment 5a of the Ocean Club where
Madeleine vanished.

He said: “They need to
speak to everybody, including myself, and they need to get the
Portuguese involved in a much more constructive way.

“To
get somewhere now they need to have a joint team working here together
in Praia da Luz. This is where it happened. It didn’t happen in England.

“The reconstruction should cover the critical period just before and after the abduction.”

Madeleine
was three when she disappeared from the apartment at about 9.15pm while
her parents Kate and Gerry McCann and seven friends ate at a tapas bar
nearby. When the Judiciaria named the McCanns as suspects, they and
their friends chose not to take part in a PJ-led reconstruction. It
would be different now that they have been cleared, said Mr Murat.

He
said: “A reconstruction is a real necessity. I am sure it would fill in
some of the missing pieces of the jigsaw. Even now after all this time,
the timeline is still confused.”

Thirteen days
after Madeleine’s disappearance Mr Murat was named as a suspect. His
mother’s home, where he lived then, was searched, his computers were
taken, he was questioned for 19 hours by Portuguese police and his
property business was wrecked.

His eagerness to
help with the original investigation, helping police with translations,
aroused a journalist’s suspicions. Three of the McCanns’ friends
believed they saw him on the night Madeleine vanished but his mother
confirmed to police he was with her all night at Casa Liliana.

After being cleared as a suspect in July 2008 he won substantial damages from newspapers.

Despite his ordeal he believes Madeleine’s fate should be uppermost in everybody’s minds as another anniversary passes.

He said: “You cannot lose sight of the fact that a child was taken and we need to know what happened to her.”

He
is still willing to be interviewed by the review team, which has made
no effort to contact him. “I have no problem with that whatsoever,” he
said emphatically.

“I am available to help on
the proper legal basis. I think everybody who was around at that time,
holidaymakers and people at the Ocean Club, should be interviewed again.
The timeline needs to be made crystal clear because there is still so
much confusion, such a mess.”

Asked if he
thought Madeleine’s fate would ever be known, he brushed back his thick
dark brown hair, rubbed his tanned chin and said: “I hope so, I believe
it will come out one day.” He said Portugal’s financial crisis means “if
the British do want to get to the bottom of this, it is a case of
funding the Portuguese”.

Mr Murat, who grew up
in Devon and Portugal, now has a young family with wife Michaela. They
were both victims of the relentless media frenzy when Madeleine vanished
and it has left its scars. For the first time during the interview he
became emotional and said in a whisper: “There is no way to describe the
impact this has had on our lives. Six years later it still affects me. I
wasn’t able to do much for years and years.

“It was difficult getting back on the horse, so to speak, and do the stuff I was doing before.”

His
property business went, partly because his computers were held by the
PJ for so long, but now he has built up Newteq, an Apple-authorised
service provider on the Algarve. He said he and Michaela live a quiet
life, staying away from some events because people still come up to him
and say: “You’re that Mr Murat.”

Before 2007 he
says he was one of those people who was always eager to help others, to
get involved in the community. Now he is more guarded.

When
the original police investigation was at its height, he bumped into a
British man, Steve Carpenter, who persuaded him to meet the McCanns
because they needed his language skills. He said: “I met Gerry and said:
‘I don’t know what to say, there is nothing I can say but I do speak
Portuguese and English and I will help in any way I can’.”

He
helped Portugal’s GNR military officers to search the Ocean Club
apartments and translated statements from key witnesses, giving him a
unique inside perspective on the case.

He said: “From the experiences of the interviews there are some points that could be looked at.

“There
needs to be much more transparency, much more openness to dissipate a
lot of the stuff that has been talked about on the internet and on
blogs.”

He does not believe the results of the Yard’s work should be made available to the public.

“The
Yard needs to get together with the Portuguese police and ­produce a
final report,” he said. “They need to sit down together and come up with
a final version, a structured report.

“The report should be done by the Portuguese with the support of the British.”

Last
week Prime Minister David Cameron had a private meeting with the
McCanns in London, promising them the review would not fall foul of
budget cuts and giving them enough confidence to say on their website
that they hope for a significant breakthrough in the months ahead.

On
Friday night Kate and Gerry, both 45, gathered around a candle which
burns night and day for Madeleine outside their home village of Rothley,
Leicestershire. A 50-strong crowd supported them as they marked the
anniversary with prayers with Madeleine’s ­siblings, eight-year-old
twins Sean and Amelie.

Mr Murat said: “It must
be a ­tremendously difficult time of year for them and of course as a
human being you feel for them and for the loss of their daughter.

“At this time of year, like so many people on the Algarve, we have been thinking about this poor girl.

“I just hope in the months ahead the PJ are fully involved because in my view that is the best way of solving the mystery.”

At
St Vincent’s church in Praia da Luz, where Kate and Gerry went
regularly, worshippers also prayed for Madeleine, whose 10th birthday is
on May 12.

Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’
spokesman, declined to comment on Mr Murat’s views last night, saying
the couple were happy with how Scotland Yard is conducting the review.
